According to PANews on December 14, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley posted on the X platform that less than 200 years ago, the United States passed a law allowing the widespread creation of non-human autonomous entities, which are companies. The invention and history of companies may be the best analogy for understanding the future development of autonomous artificial intelligence agents. Most of the facilities in the world today are not for humans, but for businesses. They trade through legal currencies, borrow through bond markets, determine owners through stock markets, and reach agreements through courts and contracts.
For AI Agents, a whole new system is needed, which will be encrypted, will use stablecoins and Bitcoin for transactions, will be borrowed through DeFi, will use smart contracts, and they will have tokenized ownership and governance. It may be too early to have such a discussion now, but cryptocurrencies are not just digital versions of gold and stock-like investments, but to create a whole new independent financial system and property system for people and entities in the digital world.
